Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation March Recipe: Corn Pancakes

I did a little looking around under the corn fritter name, and there were some interesting ideas out there including a recipe by Julia Child.
Here is todays batch,



We go heavy on the corn to the batter
Just enough to stick the whole thing together.







Like I said they like them.

Made March�s corn/pancakes this past weekend. Using �Snoqualmie Falls Lodge� Pancake Mix , a warm beer of choice.... (in place of water ! Learned this neat trick in camp years back and never looked back!) Added some frozen corn that I boiled/heated up, turned out and tasted fine. Filling.

When it comes to pancake mix, I think Snoqualamie Falls is just a out the best one going!

I'll tell you, the recipe made nice cakes. They got a nice color and a crust. They reminded me of squash flower patties, but these actually got a little crisp, which is nice. I'm thinking about roasting the corn next round. Every tv chef seems to grill it before chopping it off the cob.

u got that rite !! years ago we got about 6-8 differnt mixs, made a couple small pancakes out of each..and the Snoqualamie Falls beat them All...now if i could figer out just what they did to make it so taste'e..

The batter mix has been around in my recipe box for a long time and I use it often for just making Sunday pancakes. I like them a bit thin and not too heavy so the milk is a bit more than the original if I remember correctly.

We've been making these for years and they are just about fool proof. At our place in Maine we do a lot -- and I mean A LOT -- of entertaining and it's nice to be able to roll something like this out when everyone is tired of eggs.There are a zillion ways of improvising on these too. One of our favorites is to add finely chopped ham and even, on occassion, some grated chedar cheese and chopped green onion. I have even taken left over smoked salmon and mixed it in and served it with sour cream on the side.(Don't laugh until you have tried it.)

The all time favorite though is just like the original recipe listed here, topped with warm maple syrup and butter. These are fun to do.

Made them for brunch this Sunday morning. I thought they were delicious. I used your batter recipe, which is excellent. The corn adds a neat change in texture and some additional sweetness to the batter.

Didn't want to go to the store, so used a can of corn we had in the pantry. Can only imagine how much better it is with leftover fresh sweet corn.

I was an outlier, at least in our family. One of the kids was totally thrown by having texture in the pancakes. I wouldn't read too much into, though, comments from the "Can-we-have-teriyaki-chicken-for-the-22nd-night-in-a-row" crowd.

Even though my wife and daughter were skeptical when I told them what I was making. These were a big hit!! Two thumbs up after trying them. I was able to pair them with the fresh bacon I made a couple weeks ago. (shown in the smoker 50lbs) I used the recipe as listed.

Thanks

Nice how they get brown and a little bit crispy like that. Pancakes just don't do that.

Chris,
that bacon looks very good. How do you cure it? My dad has a big chief smoker. I dont know what temps it works at but I think it is fixed setting. Where are you running temps to smoke it?
Very glad the family liked the Fritters\Corn Pancakes!
I have not had a batch make it to leftovers here in a long time. Any one else get them past the taste test board at home?
Fremont, I understand. I have a three year old that is starting down the "It dosent taste like Baloney or Chicken Tenders road. Next growth spurt should fix that, it did for the older two.

coated a 10lb slab with the following
2 tsp insta-cure (pink salt)
7 tbsp salt
4 tbsp molasses
2 cups brown sugar

Refrig for six days rotating every day
rinse soak in fresh water 8 hrs.

Into the smoker with heavy smoke 110 to 120 temps for about 4 hrs. Then 135 temp about 2hrs until internal temp of 127

I was ready to try the pancakes, but I was getting hesitation from others. However they are really good. Even the skeptics gave a "two thumbs up". With all the great recipes I'm going to have to bring out the big guns for July.

Chris

I understand your pain. How do you think I'll feel in December???

Go into hiding by then????

Perhaps!

I'm torn but I have a desert I been perfecting.

I ate about 10 of my Mom's Italian egg biscuits today. I'd love to come up with a more interesting recipe, but I'm leaning towards them. I have lots of time to think.

dvdgeorge has got April!

dvdgeorge, need something to forget "tax day"
